Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 27 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mostly Positive (156 of 211 positive).
Players say Great Deceiver is a short, dark visual novel from Sei Shoujo with strong art and voice acting. [1][2][3] Many note it feels like a condensed version of Starless, with similar style and content. [1][4][5] Some complain about heavy mosaic censorship and the need for a separate patch to restore content. [6][7][8]

You'll see nothing. And you'll be happy. This censored release of Great Deceiver is such a wasted opportunity. While this isn't the first Sei Shoujo game to come to the West it is the first one to feature mosaic censorship. Very disappointing to see a company with an anti-consumer mindset such as Shiravune licensing a game like this. You don't even get the H-scenes with the Steam installer but have to go to the …

SPOILERS AHEAD! I have incredibly mixed feelings on this game. The femdom concept was amazing and most of the H scenes are written well, they explored taboos and fetishes that you don't see alot of and I appreciate it. But when the whole thing turns out to be a sex trafficking and sexual slavery ring plot it loses the appeal and just makes everything uncomfortable. If it was a game designed to be a psychological …

If you know the name Sei Shoujo, you already know why you're here and yes, it's very similar to Starless in terms of both style and content. Some things are fresh and new, but it's undeniably familiar to Starless or Sleepless. Mosaics aren't a total dealbreaker for me, so I didn't mind them much at all. But writing and content are all excellent if they happen to be your thing. Check VNDB tags to be safe

Basically Starless-lite. Only about 2 hours of content for a fast reader and is essentially just Starless in a much more condensed (rushed) form. Follows the same formula but with a smaller cast and a fraction of the scenes. Three endings you pick between and none of them are happy. Not worth full price and has mosaics.

PROS: Finally, a genuinely good AVN. If you grew up with classics like Bible Black or Starless, you'll immediately understand the appeal. Marie be my sugar mom! The femdom content is handled exceptionally well and feels like a core part of the experience rather than an afterthought. It explores a variety of taboos and fetishes that are rarely seen in modern visual novels, helping it stand out from the crowd. The …

Players who liked Great Deceiver talk about great artwork from Sei Shoujo; those who didn't talk about heavy mosaic censorship. Which matters more to you?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In the movie Stand By Me, a group of 4 young boys set out on a journey to see a dead body. They go through a series of ordeals to reach it, but when they do, it's a kind of a sad anticlimax for the narrator; a disturbing, morbid site that leaves him shaken and signals the end of his childhood. I mention this to illustrate a point: Great Deceiver is that dead body. It is disgusting, it is cruel, and once you see it, your life will be forever changed by the knowledge that not only something like…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →18+ VN + hot scenes + kawaii waifus = High class girls with ultra luxury feel. They pose in various alluring ways. Quality art and Japanese voiced. Yes, there are mosaics since it is from Japan. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35180752-3-point-play/] Follow our curator for similar games

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What is the point selling this game after getting rid of most content?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty short game from seishoujo 聖少女. I played in a relatively slow pace with you know one hand and it only took me less than six hours. If you are fast enough you can even finish it and refund it. Still I recommend this if you are a fan of bible black and discipline like me. This is definitely the VN you want. Also get it on sale. 10 bucks isn’t that bad. P.S. make sure you get the free patch from johren .
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want Marie Mamiya to take a dump in my mouth.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game and initially was able to play all the NSFW scenes. However for some reason now I am not able to suddenly. Only the NSFW scenes are not loading and at some points it completely skips them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I quit..... 💸 Just because of this enslaved work for this Succubus and this Royal Mistress q-q
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm here because of Starless vibe from my childhood... And yeah it's worth it but I rather get this one when it's on sale. Note: You need patch from Dev (Check on discussion someone there leave a link.) to unlock choices and actual H scenes...for those who ♥♥♥ after.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great Sei Shoujo art as always. go download dlc to unlock from steam version. a bit sad it not uncen.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Something wrong with this game. I don't get any choices and the game story just go straight to the bad ending. wtf?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great artwork done by the skilled hands that brought us Bible and Discipline. Only drawback here would be the censorship that needs to be removed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I understand that this was intended as additional content for STARLESS – 21st Century Nymphomaniacs, however this non R18 version has so much content cut I can't recommend it at all. No choices, and can easily skip through in a couple of hours. The new characters are interesting, and I wanted to see more of Marie Mamiya but it didn't really go anywhere. The actual meat of the story is MC going to work privately for Marie, nothing been shown of that day and then him going to bed in his new room…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m a bonafide degenerate, but even I felt dirty after playing this. It introduces "concepts" I genuinely wish to unlearn. And of course, being a Shiravune release, it comes with ugly mosaic censorship. The voiceovers are bleeped too. Game's still good though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Deceiver is a mature visual novel developed by Empress and Elf and published by Shiravune that leans heavily into character-driven storytelling, psychological tension, and provocative themes. From the outset, the game makes it clear that it is not aiming to be a light or comforting romance story. Instead, it presents a narrative rooted in power imbalance, manipulation, ambition, and desire, using these elements to explore how an ordinary person can be reshaped by circumstances far beyond…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I was younger I saw some anime videos called "Bible Black," which were dark, anxiety-inducing, and really unsettling, but stayed with you. This game is apparently related to said production via the artist, and it's very much like the show I just described. It's just as dark, anxiety-inducing, and unsettling, and it also stays with you. Blessedly, it's short, so you can get back to your regular life and take a deep breath, and pretend nothing happened, but during the time your playing it's…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is bad, short and uninteresting. shame on the developers for destroying this franchise.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →More Marie Mamiya! - A bit on the shorter side, but this goes on sale by quite a bit (80%) so worth grabbing when it does!
